We really enjoyed staying at Cortez, Colorado. It is a beautiful area. The weather was perfect. We visited Mesa Verde National Park. We took a tour of the Cliff Palace. It was amazing to see what the Ancestral Pueblo people built over 700 years ago. The Cliff Palace is the largest dwelling in North America. The Cliff Palace includes about 150 rooms, 75 constructed open areas and 21 Kivas. I’m afraid our ranger who conducted the tour wasn’t that great, but being able to walk thru the open areas was amazing. This is only one place in the park, there was so much more to explore….maybe next time.
